Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-

Excellent value.

Hardly cost anything in 7 years, except 2 exhausts and 2 sets of tyres (heavy).

On the road
Driving
Sticks like the preverbial to the road. I live in the country, so roads not brilliant and the ride is hard on these roads. But on motorways and good A roads - excellent.
Performance
Nice and quick and eager.

Living with it
Reliability
Only let me down once in 7 years. I flooded the engine one morning from a cold start. Otherwise, starts first time every time.
Image
I know Mondeo's are 2 a penny, but I still smile when I walk up to the car. Low profiles, alloys, spoiler, low body and stylish interior - aahhh!!
Comfort
Comfortable inside. Low profiles and wide tyres make for a bone shaking ride on B roads.

Security and Service
Security
Alarm/immobiliser ok.
Service
Heater fan speed switch defective after car was purchased, as was thermostat. Both fixed, no charge.
